Zweifellos zählt Ingeborg Bachmann zu den wichtigsten deutschsprachigen Schriftstellerinnen. In ihrem literarischen Werk, ob Prosa, Lyrik, Essay, Hörspiel, Libretti sezierte sie den Gegenstand. Wahrhaftigkeit forderte sie ein, mit jedem Satz, den sie schrieb: „Die Wahrheit ist dem Menschen zumutbar“, so Bachmann. Mit ihren Texten fiel sie auf, auch bei der Gruppe 47, lebte zwischen Klagenfurt, Wien, Zürich, München, Rom, hatte in ihrem Schreiben eine davon geprägte Internationalität und wurde für ihr Werk mit vielen, renommierten Preisen ausgezeichnet, u.a. mit dem Hörspielpreis der Kriegsblinden oder dem Georg-Büchner-Preis. Doch: Wer war Ingeborg Bachmann, die am 25. Juni 1926 in Klagenfurt geboren wurde und tragisch 1973 im Alter von 47 Jahren in Rom verstarb? Wie lebte sie? Was verbirgt sich hinter ihrem schriftstellerischen Werk? Jemand, der sich mit Ingeborg Bachmann und ihren Texten gründlich auseinandergesetzt hat, ist die Literaturkritikerin Insa Wilke. Viele Jahre gehörte sie zum Jurorenteam des Ingeborg-Bachmann-Preises, zuletzt, bis 2023, war sie Juryvorsitzende. Bei NDR Kultur à la carte spricht Insa Wilke mit Katja Weise zum 100. Geburtstag von Ingeborg Bachmann.

Ingeborg Bachmann gehört zu den großen Stimmen der europäischen Nachkriegsmoderne – und zu den widersprüchlichsten. Aufgewachsen im Schatten von Krieg und Nationalsozialismus, findet die 1926 geborene Kärntnerin früh zur Literatur – und macht das Schreiben zu ihrem existenziellen Projekt. Eine atemberaubende Karriere führt die Autorin von Wien über Paris nach Rom. Beziehungen zu Paul Celan und Max Frisch prägen Bachmanns Leben ebenso wie Brüche, Krisen und Rückzüge. In den 1960er-Jahren gerät das Leben der Schriftstellerin zunehmend aus dem Gleichgewicht. Zum 100. Geburtstag der Schriftstellerin wird das Werk Ingeborg Bachmanns aus verschiedenen Blickwinkeln neu beleuchtet. Sichtbar wird eine Autorin, die bei allem Streben nach Emanzipation in den Verstrickungen ihrer Zeit gefangen blieb – existenziell und künstlerisch.

Kath-Akademie Archiv: Paul Celan zum 100. Geburtstag – Jan-Heiner Tück, Markus May und Dominik Fröhlich versuchen den religiösen Dichter Paul Celan kennenzulernen(Hördauer: 110 Minuten)Viele Kenner der deutschen Lyrik halten Paul Celan für den bedeutendsten Poeten der Zeit nach dem Zweiten Weltkrieg. Gleichwohl steht Celans Dichtung – nach wie vor – in dem Ruf, schwierig und unzugänglich, ja beinahe geheimnisvoll zu sein. Ist Celans Werk also nur ein esoterischer Gegenstand akademischer Diskussionen? Celan selbst wehrte sich gegen solche Verkürzung und forderte von seinen Lesern: Wiederholung, Vertiefung, vor allem: Aufmerksamkeit. „Aufmerksamkeit ist das natürliche Gebet der Seele“ – so zitiert Celan den Philosophen und Oratorianer Nicolas Malebranche und deutet damit an, dass seine Gedichte nur vor dem Hintergrund des Religiösen wirklich zu erhellen sind. Diesem Fingerzeig wollen wir anlässlich von Paul Celans 100. Geburtstag nachgehen und gemeinsam mit unseren Gästen – dem Theologen Jan-Heiner Tück aus Wien und dem Literaturwissenschaftler Markus May aus München – den religiösen Dichter Paul Celan kennenlernen. Das einleitende Referat hält Dominik Fröhlich, Studienleiter der Katholischen Akademie in Bayern.Der abwesende Gott, die Opfer der Shoah, Spuren jüdischer Mystik und Anspielungen auf die Passion des Gekreuzigten werden dabei ebenso im Zentrum stehen wie Celans Auseinandersetzung mit dem Judentum und seiner jüdischen Identität.Unter Anleitung des Sprecherziehers Marcus Boshkow rezitieren die beiden Schauspielerinnen Nora Buzalka und Elna Lindgens einschlägige Gedichte – u.a. Benedicta, Tenebrae, Denk dir, Die Pole – und lassen so den Dichter selbst zu Wort kommen. Besondere Aufmerksamkeit ist also geboten, denn: „wir wissen ja nicht, weißt du, wir wissen ja nicht, was gilt.“ Prof. Dr. phil.

Das Verhältnis des Paul Celan und Martin Heidegger ist eines der großen und vieldiskutierten Rätsel der deutschen Nachkriegsgeschichte, hier der Philosoph, der sich für den Nationalsozialismus engagierte, dort der Dichter, dessen Eltern im Holocaust umkamen. Der Essay macht sich auf die Suche in den Archiven, er schaut in die Bibliotheken von Celan und Heidegger, die sich im Deutschen Literaturarchiv in Marbach befinden, deutet Lesespuren, Anstreichungen oder offensichtliche Desinteresse. Eines ist dabei schnell klar, die Begegnung der beiden findet nicht wirklich auf Augenhöhe statt. Wie aber dann? Essay von Frank Hertweck SWR 2026

POST FACE - Émission Littéraire présentée par Caroline Gutmann Elle reçoit Pierre Assouline pour son livre « Tenez bon - Comment des livres nous donnent de l'espoir » aux éditions Robert Laffont À propos du livre : « Tenez bon - Comment des livres nous donnent de l'espoir » paru aux éditions Robert Laffont Tenez bon est un manifeste, qui déploie une conviction essentielle pour Pierre Assouline : les livres nous donnent de l'espoir. Qui n'a jamais été tenté de reculer devant le risque et le danger, ou de céder à la mélancolie ? Face à l'adversité, qu'elle soit intime ou collective, Pierre Assouline sait les livres qui nous donnent de l'espoir. Il suffit d'une page, d'une phrase ou même d'un seul mot pour forger en chacun d'entre nous un socle de résistance. Les paroles d'Albert Camus, Simone Veil, Jean Moulin, Rudyard Kipling ou Paul Celan, sans oublier Job, personnage biblique à la portée universelle, ni la chèvre de Monsieur Seguin, permettent de tenir bon dans les situations difficiles. Tenir bon face à la barbarie ordinaire. Tenir bon dans ses valeurs, et ne pas renoncer à ses convictions, quand tout nous pousse à les trahir. Tenir bon dans la défense absolue de l'État de droit, pilier de la République. Tenir bon chaque fois que l'on croit perdre une forme de dignité. Tenir bon, à condition que cela ne se fasse pas aux dépens de la légèreté... Écrivain et journaliste, Pierre Assouline a publié une quarantaine de livres, notamment des biographies (Cartier-Bresson, Simenon...) et des romans ( Lutetia, Le Nageur et L'Annonce...). Chroniqueur à L'Histoire et enseignant à Sciences Po, il est membre de l'académie Goncourt.

Cities and Memory - remixing the sounds of the world

"This composition is based on an ambisonic recording made inside the Sauna at Auschwitz. This was the ‘bathhouse' where new arrivals from the trains arriving at the camp were stripped of all their belongings, valuables and clothes, registered and tattooed with a number, then showered, shaved, disinfected and re-clothed. The building had a “clean” and a “dirty” side, and machines were used to steam and delouse clothing. Existing prisoners were also sometimes sent to the Sauna in attempts to control pests and disease in the camp. "As Andrzej Strzelecki describes in the Auschwitz-Birkenau Museum book about the Auschwitz Sauna, the purpose of this place had little to do with caring for prisoners' hygiene. Instead, it acted as an instrument in the Nazis' system of mass destruction and theft of the property of groups targeted in pursuit of their racist ideology. The sauna was also a site of ritual humiliation, dehumanisation and control, stripping people of their dignity. Most new arrivals believed they were being sent to labour camps or resettled to start new lives. Those “selected” on the train ramp never made it to the Sauna, however. They were taken directly to the gas chambers. "The history of this place and the suffering of the people who passed through it deeply shaped my response to the field recording. In the composition I aimed to evoke the disorientation, disbelief, fear and oppressive control that must have been felt there and the mechanistic, industrialised systems that enabled such extensive dehumanisation. Given the nature of the subject I focused on the texture, sounds and voices in the recording and added additional sounds and instruments. The title, Black Milk, comes from Holocaust survivor Paul Celan's poem, Todesfuge (Death Fugue)." Auschwitz sauna soundscape reimagined by Laura Hills, from a recording by Anders Vinjar.

Modern scholarship identifies a series of “temporal turns” in Jewish studies stemming from the early 1900s, 1945, and the present notion that “time is running out.” Homo Temporalis: German-Jewish Thinkers on Time follows thinkers who watched catastrophes unfold but imagined a new world rising from their ashes. Martin Buber, Walter Benjamin, Hannah Arendt, and Paul Celan shaped our understanding of the Humanities by dedicating their thought to temporal concepts such as Living-presence (Erlebnis), Now-time, Natality, and Breath-turn. Their message was a necessary one for those interested in the modern study of religion, critical thinking, political thought, and post-1945 literature. They all shared a deep understanding of time as the most important component of modern life and “ontological egalitarianism.”

Since the late 1980s, Colombian artist Doris Salcedo has made work in response to conflict and political violence, drawing on the testimonies of victims to create metaphorical sculptures and installations about trauma, loss and survival. She is now recognised as one of the most important living artists, with work shown in museums and galleries around the world, including in the turbine hall of Tate Modern in 2007. Doris Salcedo is the 2025 recipient of the Whitechapel Gallery's prestigious Art Icon award, in recognition of her ‘profound contribution to the artistic landscape'. She talks to John Wilson about the first time she saw Goya's painting The Third of May 1808, also known as The Executions of the Third of May. The painting depicts the brutal aftermath of the Dos de Mayo Uprising in Madrid, during the Peninsular War, in which Spanish civilians were executed by French soldiers. Salcedo recalls how this painting showed her what a work of art could accomplish. It was seeing this painting that inspired her artistic purpose of trying to reveal the true cost of war in her work. Salcedo also explains how the poetry of Paul Celan, the French-Romanian poet and Holocaust survivor has been a significant influence on her and her art , and how the testimonies of the Colombian victims of violence have defined her work.Producer: Edwina PitmanArchive used: Paul Celan, Psalm, read by Robert Rietty

This episode we are thrilled to be joined by the artist Jessica Rankin. Born in Sydney in 1971, Jessica is known for her vibrant and expansive exploration of the processes of memory, intuition, and interpretation.  For the first part of her career, Jessica produced textile works that adopted methods historically identified with feminine pursuits—embroidery and needlework. She created works featuring 'mental maps' that combined word and image to highlight her ongoing project: a hybrid weaving of personal, fictional and historical voices. In 2016, Jessica turned exclusively to painting, combining gestural abstraction with the sewn mark on raw canvas. These works often take their inspiration from the literature of marginalised voices: of women writers, gay writers or writers of colour. They have included lines of poetry by writers who have inspired Jessica's work, such as Etel Adnan, Paul Celan, and Carl Phillips. Throughout, Jessica has continued to adopt John Cage's adage to ‘be unfamiliar to yourself,” creating a rich and compelling practice that spans multiple media. Jessica has been the subject of numerous solo and group exhibitions including the Palazzo Grassi in Venice, the Whitworth Art Gallery, Manchester, UK, and MoMA PS1 here in New York. Last year, she had a solo show at White Cube in Hong Kong.

Homo Temporalis: German Jewish Thinkers on Time (Cornell UP, 2025) tells the story of a group of twentieth-century Jewish intellectuals who grappled ceaselessly with concepts of time and temporality. The project brings into dialogue key thinkers, including the philosopher of religion Martin Buber, the critical theorist Walter Benjamin, the political scientist Hannah Arendt, and the poet Paul Celan, who stand at the center of our contemporary understanding of religion, critical theory, politics, and literature. All four, and many colleagues around them who identified with their approaches saw time—not space—as the key to their individual and collective experience, rejecting definitions of self based on borders, territory, or geographic/national origin.

Homo Temporalis: German Jewish Thinkers on Time (Cornell UP, 2025) tells the story of a group of twentieth-century Jewish intellectuals who grappled ceaselessly with concepts of time and temporality. The project brings into dialogue key thinkers, including the philosopher of religion Martin Buber, the critical theorist Walter Benjamin, the political scientist Hannah Arendt, and the poet Paul Celan, who stand at the center of our contemporary understanding of religion, critical theory, politics, and literature. All four, and many colleagues around them who identified with their approaches saw time—not space—as the key to their individual and collective experience, rejecting definitions of self based on borders, territory, or geographic/national origin.

Elisa Biagini"L'intravisto"Einaudi Editorewww.einaudi.itCoi visi bianchicome lichenifacciamo nodiall'erba primadi scenderenel fumo e ilsuo ferro,gli scaliniche ci affettanole ombre.L'intravisto è ciò che osserviamo con difficoltà, per frammenti, «con l'occhio appoggiato alla crepa». Un impedimento che nei versi di Elisa Biagini diventa una forza per conoscere meglio se stessi e l'altro da sé, uno sguardo obliquo che apre orizzonti in cui situare i ricordi. E piú fortemente la poetessa percepisce l'altrove, piú sembra toccare il profondo di sé, per guardarsi veramente e riorientarsi: «ripesco la bussola, sollevo lo specchio». Con l'urtarsi e l'infittirsi dei significati intorno a immagini ricorrenti (animali, sassi), «facendo l'orlo al silenzio», dall'ombra della memoria e da «quanto è in fondo allo specchio» traluce «il brusio dell'impensato». A poco a poco affiorano le istantanee di un dialogo con un «tu»: una comunicazione difficile, fatta di frasi interrotte, silenzi, assenze. Quella di Elisa Biagini è una poesia che sta nel mondo in modo dialettico, cogliendone il conflitto e dandogli voce, raccontando ad occhi aperti «quanto rimasto dalla cancellatura».Elisa Biagini è nata a Firenze nel 1970. Presso Einaudi ha pubblicato le raccolte: L'ospite (2004), Nel bosco (2007), Da una crepa (2014), Filamenti (2020) e L'intravisto (2024). Ha curato e tradotto l'antologia Nuovi poeti americani (Einaudi 2006) e Non separare il no dal sí (Ponte alle Grazie 2020), una scelta di poesie di Paul Celan. Con Antonella Anedda ha pubblicato Poesia come ossigeno. Per un'ecologia della parola (chiarelettere 2021).

In this episode, I speak with Marc Redfield, professor of Comparative Literature, English, and German Studies at Brown University about his most recent work, Shibboleth: Judges, Derrida, Celan, published in 2020 by Fordham University Press. In this short but intricate and dense work, Redfield investigates the “shibboleth”—the word, if it is one, and the concept—from its roots in the Book of Judges to the contemporary global regimes of technics that are defined by constantly proliferating technologies and practices of encryption, decryption, exclusion, and inclusion.  At the heart of this book is an insightful interpretation of two poems by the Romanian-Jewish, German-language poet Paul Celan. Redfield places Celan into a polyphonic dialogue with others who invoked “the” shibboleth: the French philosopher Jacques Derrida, William Faulkner, and the Colombian visual artist Doris Salcedo (whose 2007 installation at the Tate Modern, which bears the title Shibboleth, provides the cover image for the book). In doing so, Redfield pursues the track of shibboleth: a word to which no language can properly lay claim, a word that is both less and more than a word, that signifies both the epitome and ruin of border control technology, and that thus, despite its violent origin and role in the Biblical story, offers a locus of poetico-political affirmation.

Susan Bernofsky is an American translator of German-language literature and author. She is best known for bringing the Swiss writer Robert Walser to the attention of the English-speaking world translating many of his books and writing his biography. She has also translated several books by Jenny Erpenbeck and Yoko Tawada. Her prizes for translation include the Helen and Kurt Wolff Translation Prize, Oxford-Weidenfeld Translation Prize. In 2017 she won the Warwick Prize for Women in Translation for her translation of Memoirs of a Polar Bear by Yoko Tawada.In this episode, she spoke about her views on translations, the author Yoko Tawada and her translation of Tawada's novel 'Spontaneous Acts' released in July 2024. 'Spontaneous Acts' written by Tawada in Berlin during the first year of the COVID-19 pandemic, pays homage to Paul Celan, a longstanding influence on her work. Arguably the most important German-language poet of the post-World War II era, Celan is known for the diamond-hard density of his lyrical lines, estranging words from their inherited meanings, and thereby opening up new avenues of association and interpretation.

Seamus Heaney's Afterlives

New Books Network

In 1995, Seamus Heaney was awarded the Nobel Prize in Literature. During his speech, he explained that the adequacy of lyric poetry spoke to the “‘temple inside our hearing' which the passage of the poem calls into being. It is an adequacy deriving from what Mandelstam called ‘the steadfastness of speech articulation,' from the resolution and independence which the entirely realized poem sponsors. It has as much to do with the energy released by linguistic fission and fusion, with the buoyancy generated by cadence and tone and rhyme and stanza, as it has to do with the poem's concerns or the poet's truthfulness. In fact, in lyric poetry, truthfulness becomes recognizable as a ring of truth within the medium itself. And it is the unappeasable pursuit of this note, a note tuned to its most extreme in Emily Dickinson and Paul Celan and orchestrated to its most opulent in John Keats, it is this which keeps the poet's ear straining to hear the totally persuasive voice behind all the other informing voices.” Ten years after his death, we continue to strain with Heaney to hear that pluralizing voice of radiant truth. “Seamus Heaney's Afterlives” is the subject of an upcoming conference held at Boston College between November 16th, 17th, and 18th, 2023. The four keynote lectures, along with interviews with contemporary poets influenced by Heaney, have been published in the latest issue of the Éire-Ireland: An Interdisciplinary Journal of Irish Studies. I am excited to speak with the organizer of this conference, Joseph Nugent, and the co-editor of Éire-Ireland, Vera Kreilkamp, about Heaney's continuing relevance, the conference, the special issue of the journal. Joseph Nugent is Professor of English at Boston College. Joe is the creator of the iPhone app, JoyceWays: Ulysses for You, and the website, The Dubliners Bookshelf. His teaching includes courses on the digital humanities, Joyce, and Irish studies, and he has written the eBook Digital Dubliners, as well as articles on manliness and representations of the Irish saint Colmcill and olfactory domestic identity in rural Ireland. Vera Kreilkamp is Professor of Irish Studies at Boston College. Vera is the co-editor of Éire-Ireland, and is the author of The Anglo-Irish Novel and the Big House (Syracuse University Press, 1998) and the museum catalogs Éireland (2003), Rural Ireland: The Inside Story (2012) and The Arts and Crafts Movement: Making It Irish (2016). Note: Around the 28-minute mark, I quote from Fintan O'Toole's commemoration of Seamus Heaney, originally published in the New York Review of Books, but the quotation did not record clearly. Here are the uncorrupted lines from O'Toole's article: “Poetry is language held taut by being stretched between the poles of competing desires. In Heaney's work, the tensions extend in many directions: the Wordsworthian Romantic at odds with the Joycean realist; the atheist in search of the miraculous; the world-ranging cosmopolitan with his little patch of remembered earth; the lover of the archaic who cannot escape the urgency of contemporary history.” John Yargo is a Visiting Assistant Professor of Environmental Humanities at Boston College. He holds a Ph.D. in English from the University of Massachusetts Amherst. His specializations are early modern literature, the environmental humanities, and critical race studies.

In 1995, Seamus Heaney was awarded the Nobel Prize in Literature. During his speech, he explained that the adequacy of lyric poetry spoke to the “‘temple inside our hearing' which the passage of the poem calls into being. It is an adequacy deriving from what Mandelstam called ‘the steadfastness of speech articulation,' from the resolution and independence which the entirely realized poem sponsors. It has as much to do with the energy released by linguistic fission and fusion, with the buoyancy generated by cadence and tone and rhyme and stanza, as it has to do with the poem's concerns or the poet's truthfulness. In fact, in lyric poetry, truthfulness becomes recognizable as a ring of truth within the medium itself. And it is the unappeasable pursuit of this note, a note tuned to its most extreme in Emily Dickinson and Paul Celan and orchestrated to its most opulent in John Keats, it is this which keeps the poet's ear straining to hear the totally persuasive voice behind all the other informing voices.” Ten years after his death, we continue to strain with Heaney to hear that pluralizing voice of radiant truth. “Seamus Heaney's Afterlives” is the subject of an upcoming conference held at Boston College between November 16th, 17th, and 18th, 2023. The four keynote lectures, along with interviews with contemporary poets influenced by Heaney, have been published in the latest issue of the Éire-Ireland: An Interdisciplinary Journal of Irish Studies. I am excited to speak with the organizer of this conference, Joseph Nugent, and the co-editor of Éire-Ireland, Vera Kreilkamp, about Heaney's continuing relevance, the conference, the special issue of the journal. Joseph Nugent is Professor of English at Boston College. Joe is the creator of the iPhone app, JoyceWays: Ulysses for You, and the website, The Dubliners Bookshelf. His teaching includes courses on the digital humanities, Joyce, and Irish studies, and he has written the eBook Digital Dubliners, as well as articles on manliness and representations of the Irish saint Colmcill and olfactory domestic identity in rural Ireland.

Note: Around the 28-minute mark, I quote from Fintan O'Toole's commemoration of Seamus Heaney, originally published in the New York Review of Books, but the quotation did not record clearly. Here are the uncorrupted lines from O'Toole's article: “Poetry is language held taut by being stretched between the poles of competing desires. In Heaney's work, the tensions extend in many directions: the Wordsworthian Romantic at odds with the Joycean realist; the atheist in search of the miraculous; the world-ranging cosmopolitan with his little patch of remembered earth; the lover of the archaic who cannot escape the urgency of contemporary history.” John Yargo is a Visiting Assistant Professor of Environmental Humanities at Boston College. He holds a Ph.D. in English from the University of Massachusetts Amherst. His specializations are early modern literature, the environmental humanities, and critical race studies.

Today's poem is And the Beautiful by Paul Celan. The Slowdown is your daily poetry ritual. In this episode, guest host Shira Erlichman writes… “The work of today's poet, Paul Celan, was marked by genocide. This small poem by Celan reckons with what is brutally taken, what is lost. He doesn't offer us superficial answers to endless grief. He offers only questions. And I sense, inside the questions, the immense task of facing a violent and brutal world.” Celebrate the power of poems with a gift to The Slowdown today.

Edmund de Waal on Pottery, Poetry, and the Act of Letting Go

The London-based artist, master potter, and author Edmund de Waal has an astoundingly astute sense for the inner lives of objects. Each of his works, whether in clay or stone, is imbued with a certain alchemy, embodying traces of far-away or long-ago ancestors, ideas, and histories. This fall, two exhibitions featuring his artworks are on view at Gagosian in New York (through October 28): “to light, and then return,” which pairs his pieces with tintypes and platinum prints by Sally Mann, and “this must be the place,” a solo presentation displaying his porcelain vessels poetically arranged in vitrines, as well as stone benches carved from marble. As respected for his writing as he is for his pots, de Waal is the author of 20th Century Ceramics (2003), The Pot Book (2011), The White Road (2015), Letters to Camondo (2021), and, perhaps most notably, the New York Times bestseller The Hare with Amber Eyes (2010). All that de Waal does is part of one long continuum: He views his pots and texts as a single, rigorously sculpted body of work and ongoing conversation across time.On this episode, de Waal talks about his infatuation with Japan, his affinity for the life and work of the Japanese-American artist Isamu Noguchi (1904-1988), and the roles of rhythm and breath in his work.Special thanks to our Season 8 sponsor, Van Cleef & Arpels.Show notes: [00:28] Edmund de Waal[03:43] Paul Celan[08:12] 2023 Isamu Noguchi Award[08:17] Gagosian[08:20] “this must be the place” [08:22] “to light, and then return”[09:09] Twentieth-Century Ceramics[09:20] The Pot Book[18:23] “Letters to Camondo” Exhibition[20:32] Sally Mann[20:48] The Hare with Amber Eyes[28:00] “The Hare with Amber Eyes” Exhibition[30:56] “Playing with Fire: Edmund de Waal and Axel Salto” Exhibition[40:24] Dr. Sen no Sōshitsu[52:48] The White Road[52:49] Letters to Camondo[01:06:33] In Memory Of: Designing Contemporary Memorials

One of the world's most acclaimed ceramicists, Edmund de Waal is renowned for simple, hand-made porcelain pots and bowls which are usually displayed in meticulously arranged groups. His work has been shown in museums and galleries including the V&A, the British Museum, the Frick in New York, and at the Venice Biennale. In 2010 Edmund de Waal became widely known as a bestselling author, after the publication of his family memoir The Hare With Amber Eyes which retraced his Jewish European heritage. A dramatic and tragic story about art, exile and survival, it led him on a journey from Tokyo to Odessa via 19th century Paris and Nazi occupied Vienna. On This Cultural Life, Edmund de Waal tells John Wilson about being taken to a pottery class at the age of five by his father, an Anglican cleric who worked at Lincoln Cathedral. He immediately fell in love with the process of moulding wet clay into vessels and was determined to become a potter. After leaving school he spent five months in Japan studying the ancient traditions of pottery with various master ceramicists. He remembers how a visit to the Ryoan-ji Temple in Kyoto had a huge impact on his understanding of space, contemplation and spirituality. During his first visit to Japan he also met his great uncle Ignatius Ephrussi from whom Edmund first learned about his European Jewish heritage, his family's exile from Vienna in the face of Nazi terror, and the collection of small Japanese figurines, known as netsuke, whose story was told in The Hare With Amber Eyes. Edmund chooses the ceramicist Lucie Rie, another Viennese exile in London, as a major influence on his practise. He describes his working routine in the ceramics studio, and how his pots are often made in response to poetry, citing the work of Romanian-born Paul Celan an American poet Emily Dickinson as particular influences.
